$500,000 CROW’S NEST PASS FIRE

Five hundred men were thrown out
of work—possibly for as long as six
months—when a fierce fire ‘spread
through the surface workings of the
Crow’s Nest Pass coal company at
Michel, B.C., and did damage estimat-
ed between $250,000 and $590,000, It
was stated that the plant would pro-
bably be replaced as quickly as pos-
sible and that in the meantime pro-
duction in adjacent Coal Creek Col-
lieries might be stepped up to meet
existing fuel contracts.

CATTLE FEED REQUIREMENTS

L. B. Thomson, dominion experi-
mental station at Swift Current, Sas-
katchewan, states that feed require-
ments for the maintenance of differ-
ent ages of cattle in a thrifty condi-
tion when they have been taken off
normally grazed pastures are as fol-
lows:

Calves, 8 to 10 pounds of hay per
day.

Yearlings, 12 to 14 pounds of hay
per day.

Mature cattle, 16 to 18 pounds of
hay per day.

If good grazing or browsing is
available, the amount of feed required
will be reduced at least 50 per cent.
The main substitutes in the event of
a feed shortage are straw and Rus-
sian thistle. For calves straw will not
replace much of the hay in the ration
unless alfalfa and sweet clover are
fed, For mature thrifty cattle straw
can be substituted for half the hay,
pound for pound, with good results.
Good straw full feed will replace al!
but five pounds of hay per day. Cows
can be wintered successfully on 500
pounds of hay and 1400 pounds of
straw. Russian thistle can be substi-
tuted for half the hay in the ration
or can be fed with 50 per cent straw.
Thistles fed alone are dangerous as
they have a laxative effect and cause
digestive trouble.

BOY SCOUT NEWS NOTES

BY THE S, M,

It is nice to note how interested the
boys are in learning their Second
Class Tests. Four of them, namely
Cyril Hunt, Frank Lieber, Gordon
Hunt and Harvey Barker have al-
ready received their Second Class
Badge and a number of others are
very close to obtaining theirs.

The ambulance portion of the test
was the most popular—indeed the ci-
tizens of Carbon would have got quite
a kick out of seeing the boys practic-
ing in the triangular bandaging and
attending to fainting conditions, ete.

Bye the way, if the reader should
acquire a broken neck, or should his
head be cut clean off, apply to the
above named boys. They would be

POWELL AND UNWIN
COMMITTED TO TRIAL

EDMONTON— George F, Powell,
Douglas social credit consultant to
Alberta, and J.H, Unwin, Social Cre-
dit M.L.A. for Edson and his party’s
whip in the legislature, were com-
mitted for trial in the Supreme court
by Magistrate A.H. Gibson, in city
police colrt here on Thursday, fol-
lowing an all-day preliminary hearing,
They are charged with defamatory
libel and inciting to murder,

Bail was set in each case at $20,000.

The case against Powell and Unwin
arose out of the publication of a leaf-
let entitled “Bankers’ Toadies.” It
bore the names of a group of nine
prominent Edmonton residents. It
also exhorted readers of the pamph-
let to exterminate the “toadies.”
Twenty thousand copies of the leaflet
were printed.

Of this total 7,000 were confiscated
by police on October 2 in a surprise
raid on the offices of the social credit
league in the McLeod Building here.

M. Armstrong of the printing firm
of Armstrong-Cosans, in evidence on
Thursday declared that he and Mr.
Cosans received instructions from Mr.
Unwin to set the “copy” of the pam-
phlet up in type, obtain a proof and
submit it to him,

Archibald McIntyre, messenger for
the printing firm, said that he deliv-
ered the original copy and proof to
Mr, Unwin in the legislative building.

FARM FERTILITY MAY
DRAIN AWAY

There is no gainsaying that ignor-
ance and recklessness are responsible
for many of the ills afflicting agricul-
ture in Canada today, This has ref-
erence not only to the desolation
wrought through the misuse of the
plough on the western prairie but
also to the dissipation of fertility on
eastern farms, In the one instance re-
tribution has followed swiftly on the
wings of the wind, In the other, de-
terioration proceeds gradually though
none the less surely unless adequate
and often costly means are employed
to restore lost fertility.

The other day an agriculturist re-
presentative called on a farmer who
enjoys the reputation of a leader in
the community, a breeder of pedigreed
dairy cattle and grower of registered
seed, On one side of the farm lane
was a field of waving grain, divided
into plots variously fertilized, for this
farmer is a firm believer in the vir-
tues of commercial fertilizers and

Hey-ho! Hallowe’en’s here!

Hallowe’en is the eve of All Hal-
lows, or All Saint’s Day, Hallowmas,
a festival of the Christian Church,
was instituted by Pope Gregory IV
in 885, It was dedicated to all the
saints, because it was impossible to
set apart a day for each individual
saint, and as the first of November
was the date of one of the great hea-
then festivals, the previous day was
chosen for All Saints’ or Hallowmas,
to give it a Christian character.

It is the last day of October, The
night is dark and foggy, with that
peculiar dampness which heralds the
coming of dull November, The air is
cold and cheerless, and one is glad
to seek the comfort of the warm fire,
bright lights, and indoor cheer,

In Scotland the eve of Hallowmas,
or Hallowe’en as it is called, is con-
cerned with mystical and semi-super-
natural doings; not with any religious
observances of any kind.

Though many of the old charms and
spells are forgotten, Hallowe'en is
still remembered in Scotland, and the
young people meet all over the coun-
try at arranged parties, Invitations to
these parties are usually decorated
with black cats, witches riding upon
-broom-sticks, three-legged pots—sug-
gestive of magic potions, etc.; for at
this season the witches are abroad,
and we have a chance of peering into
the future, if we use spells and the
charms peculiar to the occasion, These
parties are tame affairs in comparison
with the old Hallowe’en gathering.

What vision does Hallowe’en, which
always falls on the thirty-first of Oc-
tober conjure up for you?

First of all apples,—apples many,
large, and rosy, bobbing about in a
miniature lake, the waters of which
are confined within the limits of a
large tub. Next, I think of nuts, hazel
nuts which are perfectly sound, and
yet are doomed to perish in the flames,
They have been bought for just that
purpose!

I think, too, of potatoes, cooked to
floury perfection, and then mashed and
served in a huge old-fashioned vege-
table dish. These are not to serve as
an accompaniment to a meat course.
Not even the humble accompaniment
of cheese—such a favorite combina-
tion in Scotland—is to be granted
them, They hold a proud place in the
Hallowe’en observances, just as the
Christmas pudding does in its own
season. No one is particularly keen on
a dish consisting solely of potatoes,
yet helpings of these will be avidly
accepted, because of their hidden
treasures, These treasures consist of
charms, each of which conveys a mys-
tic meaning.

and here outside refers to the manure

halt where the up-to-date manure car-
rier had deposited its loads in a dis-

in which fermentation proceeded rap-

A Farmer Convicted

Some time elapsed before the agri-
cultural representative found words to
express his astonishment that this
farmer, known for his shrewdness in
other matters, should be so lacking in
his regard for manure. No wonder
he had discovered a need for potash
in his fall wheat fertilizer! Did he
know that more than half the potash
and nitrogen of manure is contained
in the liquid, the draining away of
which he was facilitating? Well, he
had heard something to that effect
but never gave it very serious con-
sideration, Now that it had been ex-
plained so forcibly by this visitor, he
would dam the ditch, keep the manure
heap trim and compact and
means to prevent the escape of the
valuable liquid,

WEEKLY COMMENT ON
THE WORLD OF WHEAT
BY H. G. L. STRANGE

As 1 was writing this “World of
Wheat” column last evening——some-
thing about Thatcher wheat, 1 think
it was—the news came to me that
Samuel Larcombe, one of the West’s
greatest Englishmen and pioneers in
prairie agriculture, had died, aged 86.
I found that IT could think of nothing
but him, and of his splendid lifelong
service to western agriculture,

“This country needs a rust-resist-
ant wheat,” he told me in 1922, “I’ve
made some crosses and I've got good
results. In a few years T may have
something, Come up to Birtle with me
now and see the plots, won’t you?”

I went to Birtle.

In his sitting room, which was also
his seed laboratory and workshop, I
saw a splendid array of cups, diplo-
mas, certificates and medals, testify-
ing to 50 years of successful work.

“Tell me about your awards” T said.
“Never mind those things,” he ex-
claimed, “they’re nothing”—then, in
a heightened tone, “look at this new
wheat!”

That was Samuel Larcombe. He was

then 71 years old, and still fired with
enthusiasm to do better and better
work; hoping that his efforts might |
benefit his adopted country, and be
helpful to his fellow men.

The following factors have tended
to raise price:

Only about one-half of the Cana-
dian spring wheat crop grading 1 and
8 Northern, Spain again buys foreign
wheat. Some moisture deficiency in
Kansas. Excessive rains interrupt
Italian seeding, Spain buys US. win-
ter wheat at Montreal, Turkey re-
ports active foreign demand for bar-
ley. Reduction in Belgium pig; popula-
tion, Corn loan prepared in the U.S.

The following factors have tended
to lower price:

Seeding well under way in Russia.
General] rains improve crops in South-
ern Hemisphere. Official Italian crop
estimate much larger than in 1936.
Last Year’s Australian crop or “carry
over” under-estimated, Good rains

tion. Manchurian wheat crop larger
than last year,

SOLO TIME PERSONS WHO RECEIVE

RELIEF MUST WORK
OUT FULL AMOUNT

The following letter has been sent
out by the Bureau of Relief and Pub-
lic Welfare to Municipal authorities:

Edmonton, October 15

During the year 1937 fair crops
have been produced in a large portion
of the Province and the prices re-
ceived therefore are equal to, if not
greater than those received during
the average years prior to 1930,

We feel that the time has arrived
when the individual must depend upon
his own efforts to provide for himself

land his family. This can be done if
i the individual would make a sustained
effort and realize that the responsi-
bility of looking after him no longer
rests with his tax-paying neighbor.

It is the intention of the Province
to drastically reduce their grant, and
it will hereafter, only contribute to
applications for assistance where a
complete report definitely indicates
justification.

Municipalities must insist that per-
sons who are given help must work
out the full amount of relief received,
ne A CAN thin bn Oh 4 6

wards the payment of such relief

It is considered at this time that in
the event of relief being required in
some districts the rates previously
in effect be greatly reduced as there
is no excuse for any individual resid-
ing in an area where crops and gard-
ens were produced in not making
provision for his vegetables, which
are a great contribution to a man’s

| subsistence,

There may be cases where a man
was unable to plant a garden for
himself, but the lack of vegetables

on this account may be easily over-
come by the individual exchanging
work with one who has a_ surplus

supply.

that we “must love God with the mind
as well as with our hearts.” The crea-

made his world complete. That is why
in the lives of men the search for
truth goes on step by step, here a
little, there a little, until the splendor

advantage of making it possible to seed fields covered with snow or mired
after rains.

While credence must be given to the Dean's statement that this prac-
tice has been, or is being, adopted in Russia, a good deal more information
as to the conditions under which this operation is carried out and the re-
sults achieved therefrom before due weight could be given to his correlated
suggestion that the Canadian west lends itself to this method of seeding
grain, principally because of the flatness of the country “landings could be
made easily.”

On the face of it there must necessarily be many factors, other than |
ease of landing, before this system of seeding could be pronounced a feas- |
ible plan for the Western Canadian farmer as a general thing. |

lor instance, it would be interesting to know whether in Russia the!
method has been adopted only in one or two isolated instances where special
circumstances and conditions conspired to make it a feasibility, economic |
and otherwise for example, on one of those large collectivist farms |
where the area is measured in square miles rather than in acres, and
whether even on these huge farms the method is only in an experimental
stage or was used as an emergency measure to up in|
accord with a government quota.

as,

speed production

It would be interesting, too, to know the results of the work carried |

on in Russia with an aeroplane travelling perhaps at 100 miles an hour or
more blasting seed over the countryside in large quantities. Is it possible
to broadcast seed in this manner from the fast travelling motor-propelled
vehicle somewhere between earth and clouds without wasting large quant- |
ities of seed? Can grain seeded this way be distributed thinly and evenly
as it can be by a horse-drawn or even a tractor-drawn drill?
These are some of the questions the Western Canadian farmer would
like to have answered before he would be prepared to nod acquiescence to
the good Dean's suggestion that such a method could easily be applied
{n this country.

And even if these questions were answered favorably to the plan and
to the satisfaction of the interrogator, there are others which would have
to be answered satisfactorily before the Western Canadian farmer could
be expected to warmly espouse the Dean's somewhat novel suggestion.

It is obvious, for instance, that the average three quarter section or
section farmer could not afford to purchase an aeroplane to seed his crop,
for that would be the only agyicultural operation for which it could be
used, except perhaps to spray the fields with insecticide or poison bait, The
cost would be prohibitive in proportion to the return, no matter how good
the yield and how high the price of grain. If it is to be adopted, therefore,

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO HANG

PICTURES IN YOUR HOME?

Do you have to look up at the)
pictures in your living-room? If you
do, they are not hung correctly. ;
The centre of the picture should be}
on a level with the eye, so that the |
picture can be seen to proper ad-!
vantage. The centre of the pictures
on the same wall, should be in a!
line rather than the tops or the bot- |
toms.

Do your pictures lie flat against

City born-and-bred chickens are
likely to replace the barnyard variety
throughout most of the “built-up”
area of the United States. Poultry
raising amid the skyscrapers of New
York is now being carried on with
the full approval of the city s health
departments. The fowls are in-

whole of their lives in small metal

a profitable number of eggs, they are
killed, dressed and marketed all in

South Seas Mystery

Island Found Deserted Was Prolific
Source Of Guano

The schooner Denys ran into a
moldy South Seas mystery recently
on a visit to Malden Island, 1,500
miles south of Hawaii.

Malden, a prolific source of guano
which reputedly brought fortune to
a canny but wandering sea captain,
was found deserted under what
looked like unusual circumstances.

The captain of the Denys reported
finding large warehouses filled with
merchandise of every description,
and numerous indications of a hur-
ried departure by persons who sup-
posedly had been harvesting wealth
in the guano trade,

Malden was discovered in 1848 hy
an American whaling captain. He
noted the wealth of guano and de-
cided to return and exploit it.

In the meantime another whaling
boat came along. Her captain got
the same idea but instead of delay-
ing, threw his whaling plans over-
board, sailed for Sydney and sold his
discovery there for a comfortable
sum of money.

The purchasing company worked
the island for decades and was said
to have amassed a great fortune.

But the Denys found Malden | in-

The vessel, of 11,160 tons, has been

The cabins are actually larger than

is in use in the majority of the fin-

in the family quarters includes a

Woollen Mill Opened

Rural Manitoba Town Establishes A
New Industry

An event of more than passing
interest, and one that may have im-
portant significance in the economic
development of the West, took place
at Sifton, Man., when the new fac-
tory of the Spin-Well Woollen Mills
was officially opencd ity two Mani-
toba cabinet ministers.

The building is 100 feet long, 40
feet wide, two stories in height, with
a concrete boiler room attachcd. The
factory is \ow fully equipped and is
producing wool batts, yarn, men’s
socks, comforters, sleeping robes,
and will be producing blankets short-
j The wool washing and drying
equipment is capable of a production
of 200 pounds per hour, This large ,
washing and drying capacity is one
of considerable interest to farmers
as it enables the company to give
very quick service on custom work,
which is a large part of the business
now being done.

The official opcning took place on

October 14th, the Hon, I, B Grif-
fith, Minister of Health and Public
Welfare, officiating. He was accom-
panied by the Hon. W. R. Clubb,
Minister of Public Works, and the
Hon. R. Hawkins, Speaker of the

remarks complimented the directors

Piper Must Be Paid
Governments Have To Raise Money
For Public Services

Nowhere is there any great up-
surge of public demand to restrict
or reduce services which municipal
governments perform, Virtually
every municipal body is constantly
facing demands for increased ser-
vices, but there seems never to go
with that demand any realization
that the cost of such expansion must
be met. Frequently, too, original ap-
propriations for new services may
be small, but entail commitments for
larger expenditures in the future. If
tax limits are to be imposed, it seems
only equitable that there should be
a limit, too, on the number, kind
and quality of services a mun cipal-
ity is to furnish,— Philadelphia Bul-

A colored preacher was talking to
his congregation about free salvation.
Finally his sermon was finished and
then he said: “Now, Brother Smith,
will you take up the collection?”

At this point an old darky got up
and started for the door, saying,
“Parson, Ah thought you said salva-
tion was free—free as the water we
drink.”

“Well, brother,” replied the preach-
er, “salvation is free and water is free
but when we pipes it to you, you have
